# Mobile Technology for Landlines Ringboxx Personalized Ringtones By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-11-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landlines-ringboxx-personalized-ringtones References: [productdose](http://www.productdose.com/article.php?article_id=8511) & [homephonetunes](http://www.homephonetunes.com/products/default.asp) If you have family members who still rely upon a landline and screen their calls using the message machine (Hello, Mom and Dad!), a Ringboxx from Home Phone Tunes is in order. A Ringboxx lets users program specific ringtones for individual callers on their landline phone--just like on your mobile phone. They'll purchase tunes from the Home Phone Tunes Ringtone Store and know instantly who's calling without caller ID. This technology would have been key about ten years ago, but better late than never, I suppose. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Personalized Ringtones for Landlines:** Opportunity for companies to develop personalized ringtone services for landline phones, allowing users to identify callers without caller ID. - **Mobile Phone Features for Landlines:** Potential for integrating mobile phone features, like personalized ringtones, into landline phones to enhance user experience and convenience. - **Reviving Outdated Technologies:** Opportunity to bring new life to outdated technologies, such as landline phones, by incorporating innovative features and functionalities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Telecommunications:** Telecommunication companies can explore offering personalized ringtone services and integrating mobile phone features into landline phones. - **Technology:** Opportunity for technology companies to develop new products and services that bridge the gap between mobile phones and landlines, catering to individuals still using landlines. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can tap into the market of personalized ringtones for landline phones, providing a unique way for users to personalize their phone experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernized Nostalgic Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tin-cans.md) - [Modernized Familial Landline Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-home-phone.md) - [Mobile Call Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/answering-machine.md) - [Retro Phone-Inspired Label Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-phone-labeling.md) - [Diverse Ringtone Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ringtone-maker-wallpaper.md) - [Minimal Sound Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sober-ringtones.md) - [Connected Intercom Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-intercom.md) - [Grief-Focused Voicemail Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missed-calls.md) - [Retro Tech Speakerphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-phone.md)
